I've been making these croquettes for about 15 years and is my children's favorite dish of mine.

The key is condensed milk and raw onion.
I used to add sugar to the filling, but I realized that condensed milk results in a creamier finish.
The raw onion will cook through when the croquettes are deep-fried, and will add flavor.
I've based these tips off cookbooks. Recipe by Puyomi.

Steps

1

Chop the onion finely. Reserve 1/4 for later.
2

Peel the potatoes and chop roughly. Wrap in cling film and microwave for 10 minutes. Once a skewer pierces through easily, they're done. Let steam in the microwave to cool.
3

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and sweat the onion. Then add the minced meat and fry until it has cooled. Add the salt, soy sauce, pepper, nutmeg and condensed milk.
4

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add Step 3 in the frying pan (including the cooking liquid) and the reserved onions and combine.
5

Add the milk and stir well. Your bowl should look like this.
6

It is still quite hot, but shape this mixture into small portions so they cool quickly.
7

Shape into patties and coat with flour, egg and panko (in this order). If you don't coat them well, they may burst when deep-frying.
8

After they are coated, neaten the shapes once more. It's best to let chill in the fridge for a while until deep-frying but you can fry them up.
9

Deep-fry in 180°C oil that comes up to 2 cm of a small pan until golden brown. I used a low-cal oil this time.
